CharLCD PMOD
Description
This PMOD interfaces a HD44780-compatible 5V character LCD module via two PMOD connectors. This design connects all 8 data signal lines, and allows to run the LCD in both 4-bit and 8-bit mode.
Function
The build-in power booster/level converter translates 3.3V PMOD power and signal levels to 5V. Its physical size matches LCD modules such as the Sunlike HUOB-XA-G-G. The resistor RV1 controls the contrast.
